Uplifting Women in Nepal

The Kathmandu team in Nepal helped to host a women’s clinic! This clinic provided important health access, identifying and addressing issues for the women attending. Blood pressure checks, cervical screenings, and more were made available, and our community health workers gave essential support by gathering attendees and providing assistance to the hospital clinicians.

Coordinator Pinkey Malla shared about their experience, saying:

“We did a women’s health camp and women came to check their uterus and also did VIA (cervical cancer) test. Nurses from Marei Stop Hospital brought all the equipment and medicine for each woman. If the women had infection or problem we managed some of the medicine and referred to hospital for further treatment. Volunteers helped by registering women (names, contacts), taking weight and blood pressure, making prescriptions and reports and after check ups, giving advice according to their report. Volunteers also helped to gather the women [for the clinic].”
